GREAT NEWS!!!!! E-Mails from Sonja and Joe

Ni hoa!!
We just found out that we are meeting Lili tomorrow at 5pm, not Monday. It will be late before you receive word from us tho, I have to get her settled....actually, I have to get myself settled. Very emotional all of a sudden!
Today was a long day, we went to the forbiden city and the great wall. I have seen the great wall a million times on TV but it is amazing. Joe made it a bit farther than I did but I made it to the third level!! I also got my pic taken with a Chinese guy that was fascinated with my blonde hair, so funny.
Went to the 7-11 and drinking my fav Chinese beer, tsingtao.VERY YUMMY. Wont be partaking in that anymore after today...lol. We got 3 packs mrlb lights and 5 beers for 11 US dollars. And yes, I am doing amazing at the no smoking thing Nora, you would be proud of me..........
Love all you guys and will send pics tomorrow!!! Matt I will attempt to call you sometime tomorrow.

Hi Everyone!
Please do not expect pictures to early after getting Lili. We will do our best to get pictures out as soon as possible. But saying things might be a little hectic is an understatement. I am sure emotions will be off the charts also. Please be patient.
Love you all,
Joe

  1. Aunt Sonja and Uncle Matt, glad you guys arrived in China safe and sound and enjoying things thus far. It must be quite the culture shock! So exciting and thanks to Shelley for helping with the updates. Love you all and my new cousin Lilianna!

  2. Great news you two! Just remember to really take it all in, everything leading up to Lili...then you will be able to tell her everything in detail about the day she came into your lives...
    Can't wait to see all of your photos! Joe-Joe, you'd be proud of Zub, excellent job on the yards! Sonja, have you found any bargains? LOL
    Have fun...trip of a lifetime, but you get to bring back the best souvenir ever!
